Use the command line to integrate design and development tools such as Sass, PostCSS, Gulp, Jekyll and Webpack into your workflow.
One of the most important tools to master in digital design today doesn’t use a graphical user interface. When we're making complex and custom digital work, we'll need to use a command line to use the tools we need.
In this beginner's course, we'll discover how to use the command line which will let us use design and development tools such as Sass, PostCSS, Gulp, Jekyll and Webpack.
